There’s a good chance your dock is pretty plain, made only of wood, concrete, or steel, without many frills. And while the idea of customizing your dock may appeal to you, you probably aren’t sure what you would even do.

But never fear. We’ve compiled a list of 5 amazing ways to customize your dock…without breaking the bank.

#1 – Add Custom Accent Lighting

You don’t need to stop using your dock once the sun goes down, and you don’t need to rely on a dingy lantern or light bulb to provide illumination. There are literally hundreds of custom accent lighting options available, all of which can add tasteful, waterside ambience. From hanging lights to lights covered by glass enclosures to low LED lights, you can customize your dock to give you the perfect evening on the water.
